’tis the season
March 2, 2010 by mike

One of my favorite times of the year is about to begin:  baseball season.  I never grew up much of a baseball fan, although I admit to remembering Dizzy Dean call the St. Louis Cardinals games when I was little.  Fact is baseball practice was too early in the morning during the summers for me.  But photographically?  Well, that’s a different story.  

Baseball is more fun to photograph than even football — and if you know my passion for the latter you know how big a statement that is.  In baseball there are so many more decisive moments (OK, OK, I stole that phrase from Henri Cartier-Bresson, but it’s true). 

And not all of it comes from the players, as seen in the shots below I took a couple of seasons ago of Oklahoma Coach Sunny Golloway having a discussion of sorts with the umps during an OU-Texas contest. 

 Yeah, he was ejected.

    Hey Mike!
    Got to go to Norman, OU, last week to do a PSA with the Stoopmiester. Very quick and painless but I did get his autograph on the cue card he read from. Took about 10 takes to get it right. Keep singing in that shower!
